Old man winter showed up this weekend in the form of 10″ of snow accompanied by intensely cold temps. Gray skies plus snow make for a bleak weekend. I made it all better by baking a Lemon Bliss Cake , bringing some sunshine to an otherwise sunless couple of days. Lemon anything is my favorite. It ranks higher than chocolate, although I do love some chocolate at times. If lemon is offered in the form of pie, pudding, cake, bars, etc. I typically pick lemon! This cake made me so blissful – I suppose that’s why it got the name – Lemon Bliss Cake.
It was a no-brainer that my man, Dan and I would spend the weekend nestled in front of a fire. I caught up on some reading, we begin summer vacation planning, watched tons of football, engaged in gobs of one on one chitchat. It was a swell way to spend a snowy Saturday and Sunday. Sweats, no makeup, hair tied back, socks on my tootsies sans any outside interruptions. My man did go out and shoot a few “snow day” photos around the house. For some reason he shoveled a path to the cars (in case we changed our minds and wanted to leave). We didn’t – change our minds!
I found this recipe a few weeks ago. I saved it for a day just like this one. It is moist and sweet, with a delightful citrus tang! It’s perfection in a bundt pan! The recipe says the icing is optional – the icing is NOT optional in my kitchen!
